It was the first event back for most riders post COVID lockdown and Oberon Campdraft Club secretary Kim Cameron was pleased the rain held off.
"It looked like it was going to be against us," she said.
"Everyone was ringing to see if it was still going ahead with the wet weather forecast but it held off which was fantastic."
Cameron said the event brought around 200 competitors to town as well as local riders.
"They came from all over, we had people from down at Tumut, the Coast and out West," she said.
"We had about 630 or 40 runs over the three days too."
She said most people arrived Thursday night and enjoyed their stay in Oberon for the whole duration of the event.
"Everyone had a good time and we had a barbecue on Friday night and then our dinner put on by Mahwood's IGA on Saturday night and we finished by lunchtime Sunday which was good because it got a bit wet with the rain," she said.
Cameron said it was a successful weekend and everyone complied with the COVID regulations.
"Given it was one of the first campdraft's to run out since restrictions have lifted people were very good with following the ruling. We followed the guidelines and checked everyone's double vaccination proof," she said.
She also wanted to thank the sponsors of the campdraft and the competitors for making it an enjoyable weekend.
